Breaking Blogger Writers Block - Developing Good Habits
It's been said that bad habits are hard to break. But it's also been shown that you can develop good habits by motivating yourself do something - a ritual, an exercise - every day for 31 days. You can use this idea to become a better writer.
Apparently, that is the magic number for developing a habit, good or bad. Now in practice, this has worked for me, especially in the area of writing. I used to push myself to write a minimum of 2,000 words every day, no matter how tired or sick I might have been. Some days I achieved as much as 10,000 words or more.
But unfortunately, bad habits have a way of over-powering good ones, and you have to start all over a gain. And the habit you will want to develop is writing every day. When you write on a daily basis, you'll find it eventually easier to express what you really want to say.
There's no rule that says you have to post everything you write to your blog, though. But when you have lots of content to choose from, it's easier to pick out quality content and either discard the rest or take the time in editing them.
Nevertheless, there'll be times when you can't think of anything to write about, beyond a topic. When that happens, use an SE (Search Engine) to find other articles and blog entries on that topic. Write a single summary that weaves a synopsis of 2 or 3 other articles, but add your own spin to the topic. Give the reader the benefit of your knowledge, some value-added, by interpreting what a few other fellow bloggers are saying.
